ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – Continental Europe will take a two-point lead into the final day of the Hero Cup after extending its advantage over Great Britain & Ireland in the afternoon foursomes (alternate shot) on Saturday.
The inaugural tournament is giving European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald a chance to assess players under match-play pressure ahead of the contest with the United States outside Rome in September.
Francesco Molinari’s team was a point ahead overnight and maintained that advantage when the teams took 2.5 points each from the five foursomes matches on Saturday morning at Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
